2 Content General background Objectives Methodology model area model input model setup Results

3 Background Objectives Methodology Results and outlook General overview of the Project The proposed research project aims to assess the feasibility of applying the virtual water strategy to alleviate water stress in Iran. Regional crop structure adjustment Inter-provincial food trade Socio-economic factors improving regional/provincial and national water productivity and Water use efficiency

4 Background Objectives Methodology Results and outlook Start with SWAT: Quantification of regional water resources Quantification of provincial water resources

8 Synoptic stations (providing daily precipitation, max. and min. temperature) Model input (Local data) Hydrometric stations (providing river daily discharge data) Lake-inland water & River map Large reservoirs map River.shp Inland_water.shp River Lake_inland water N Meters

9 Model setup. Arc-GIS (Olivera et al., 2006) interface was used to parameterize whole the area 2. Based on DEM and stream network whole the area was divided into 506 sub-basins (threshold drainage area was set to 600 km 2 ) 3. Dominant soil and land use was selected to provide soil and land use data in the model large reservoirs/dams were contributed to the model 5. Considered simulation period for calibration was 6 years from considering 3 years warm up period

10 Background Objectives Methodology Results and outlook Definition of three approaches used in calibration processes using SUFI-2:. Global approach Global parameterization 2. Scaling approach Global parameterization 3. Regional approach Global parameterization Change of each parameter was applied globally Change of each parameter was applied based on landuse and soil WR_ WR_2 WR_3 WR_4 WR_5 WR_6 WR_7 WR_ global g opt = φi ; 8 i= i= 6 g = φ i 6 i = 0 g 2 = φ i 0.. i = 8 g 8 = φ i 8 i= parameters scaled g opt = φ i 8 ; parameters (Krause et al., 2005): 2 = br b R φ 2 for for < 0 b > b

11 Background Objectives Methodology Results Average weighted coefficient of determination (g) Global approach Regional approach Scaling approach HR_ HR_2 HR_3 HR_6 HR_5 HR_4 Hydrologic region HR_7 HR_8 Country Average weighted coefficient of determination for the eight hydrologic regions and the whole country
